Great beginner camera for learning the exposure triangle. Buttons are user-friendly. Back-button focus must be custom set through settings. Very few focal points. Does NOT perform well in low light at all.

Pros

  • Affordability
  • User-friendly
  • Reliable
  • Customizable

Cons

  • Low-light performance
  • No eye-autofocus

Ótima câmera de entrada.

Tem visor articulado, é touch-screen o que deixa a navegação do menu muito mais prática, única coisa negativa seria o ISO, de resto é uma ótima câmera, há câmeras no mercado como a t7 que só ganhará dela em questão de megapixels, já em processamento a t5i tem o digic 5 e a t7 digic 4+ mesmo a t5i sendo anterior a t7 ela tem essa vantagens citadas logo no começo.

Pros

  • Visor articulado
  • Touch-screen
  • Processador digic 5
  • Fácil navegação entre os menus devido ao touch-screen

Cons

  • ISO
  • Em baixa iluminação não é aconselhado passar de ISO 1600

DSLR

The type of camera.
viewfinder

Optical viewfinder (OVF)

Optical viewfinder (OVF)

The type of viewfinder that the camera has.
is weather-sealed (splashproof)
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
screen resolution

460k dots

921k dots

A higher screen resolution provides a sharper image, making it easier to review your photos.
has a built-in focus motor
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
The focus motor moves the lens in order to autofocus. For system cameras, having a focus motor in the camera's body allows you to use a wide range of lenses, including lenses which do not have their own focus motor. For compact cameras, a focus motor is usually built-in.
Has a flip-out screen
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
Flip-out screens can be useful for tricky shots.
With 100% coverage, you can compose the image correctly when you capture the photo. With less than full coverage, you may have to crop your photos afterward to get them looking perfect.
The size of the screen (measured diagonally).
weight

480 g

510 g

We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.

Optics

sensor size

APS-C

APS-C

One of the most important aspects of a camera is the size of its sensor. A larger sensor will capture more light, which results in improved low-light performance, dynamic range, and general image quality.
lens mount

Canon EF

Nikon F

The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
maximum ISO

6400 ISO

6400 ISO

With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.
maximum expanded ISO

12800 ISO

25600 ISO

Expanded ISO allows you to go beyond the native ISO. It does this by digitally enhancing the image output. The resulting image will have less quality than when staying within the native ISO range, but it can be useful in certain situations.
has sensor shift stabilization
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
With sensor shift, the image sensor (rather than the lens) moves to counterbalance any vibration of the camera. This means the image will be stabilised regardless of what lens is being used.
The number of frames per second that can be captured in continuous drive mode when using the mechanical shutter.
has AF tracking
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.

Videography

video recording (main camera)

1080 x 30 fps

1080 x 30 fps

The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.
Has phase-detection autofocus for videos
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
A phase-detection autofocus system is faster than a contrast detection autofocus system. Even when recording scenes with a lot of fast movements, the videos are sharp and clear.
has continuous autofocus when recording movies
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp.
has a microphone input
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
A microphone port allows connecting external high-end or specialized microphones.
has a socket for a 3.5 mm audio jack
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.
has a stereo microphone
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
A stereo microphone allows to record audio files or movies in stereo without an external microphone.
Has timelapse function
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
A timelapse shows a long passage of time sped up. A series of photographs taken from the same position over a long period is joined together to create a short video. It is great way to capture things like the setting sun, or clouds moving across the sky.
movie bitrate

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Canon EOS Rebel T5)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Nikon D5100)

The higher the movie recording bitrate the better the movie quality with more and crispier details and less compression artifacts.
number of microphones

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Canon EOS Rebel T5)

1

More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.

Battery

Battery life (CIPA)

500 shots

660 shots

CIPA is an independent, standard measurement that determines how many shots a camera can take before the battery dies.
has a removable battery
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken.
has a rechargeable battery
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
The battery can be recharged and used over again.
has a battery level indicator
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.
battery power

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Canon EOS Rebel T5)

1030 mAh

Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.

Features

supports Wi-Fi
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
The device can connect to Wi-Fi.
Has Bluetooth
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows you to easily transfer data between different devices, such as smartphones, tablets and computers.
Has dual card slots
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
It has two memory card slots, allowing you to store more photos without switching cards. This is particularly useful on long shoots when you need more space.
has pixel shift shot
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
The camera can take a series of shots, shifting the sensor slightly with each one. These can then be combined to create an extremely high-resolution image. It’s particularly useful for things like photographing artwork.
shoots raw
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
A raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor. Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor.
supports lossless compressed raw
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
It is capable of shooting stills in a lossless compressed raw format. This has all the advantages of shooting raw, while taking up much less storage space. The smaller file size also allows quicker read/write speeds.
Wi-Fi version

Canon EOS Rebel T5: Not applicable

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Nikon D5100)

The Wi-Fi versions supported by the device.
supports a remote smartphone
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
This technology allows the users to use their smartphone as a remote control for the device.
has an HDMI output
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Nikon D5100
Devices with a HDMI or mini HDMI port can transfer high definition video and audio to a display.

Miscellaneous

sensor size

22 x 14.7 mm

23.6 x 15.6 mm

The larger the sensor the more light the sensor captures yielding in better image quality.
pixel density

333 ppi

471 ppi

Pixel density is a measurement of a screen's resolution, expressed as the number of pixels per inch (PPI) on the screen. A higher pixel density translates into more clarity and sharpness for the images rendered on the screen, thus improving the quality of the viewing experience.
